So this article only name drops Giocangga and says the other 9/10 men are a mystery. Saved you a click.

>So, who were the other super-fertile fathers? One genetic sequence is attributed to Giocangga, the grandfather of the founder of the Qing dynasty. His Y chromosome was linked in a 2005 study to 1.5 million men in modern northern China. This large number likely resulted from his descendants taking many wives and concubines.
>The other nine men are currently mysteries. Yet, by assuming they lived in the area where their genomes were most commonly found and by studying mutations in the genetic sequences, scientists suggest they originated throughout Asia between 2100 B.C.E. and 700 C.E., per Nature News.
So it’s mostly a nothingburger. Thx for playing and better luck next time

Yokozuna Hakuho. The most winning sumo wrestler of all time. One of the greatest Mongolians and a direct descendant of Genghis Khan.

Since a 2003 study found evidence that Genghis Khan’s DNA was present in about 16 million men alive at the time, the Mongolian ruler’s genetic prowess has stood as an unparalleled accomplishment. But he isn’t the only man whose reproductive activities still show a significant genetic impact centuries later. A 2015 study published in the European Journal of Human Genetics found that a handful of other men had prolific lineages, too.

Mathematically once you go back far enough everyone is either an ancestor of everyone alive today or their line died out and they are an ancestor of no one.
Ghengis might have influence the gene pool a lot specifically but in the end even the lowliest peasant man will be an ancestor of everyone assuming their genes make it through a few generations.

It really is wild that most people can’t REALLY conceptualize even the early 1900s/1800s with any scale of time when compared to how they view their present day…yet we look back to B.C.E and try to study or understand mating or even what was happening to create a scale of offspring like that.

Where did we get genghis khan’s dna to test?
LaPetiteMortOrale on
There is Virtually zero proof that Genghis Khan has all the dependents claimed by so many reports, primarily because no one … No One, knows Khan’s genetics.
His body has never been found. No one knows his genetics. They only know the general genetic make up of the people of his culture.
Period.
Full stop!

Adam has over 7 billion descendants and oddly enough only about 10% look like him!

Seems like genghis khan’s father and grandfather have more though

King Harald Fairhair had 23 children. I’m sure many Northern Europeans share his blood.

How many descendants does Gengis Khan’s dad have ?
It’s heartening that Elon hasn’t joined this list yet.
ThePowerOfStories on
The title is wrong. Genghis Khan has over 16 million *direct male-line descendants*, meaning men whose father’s father’s father’s…and so on…father is Genghis Khan (or, actually Genghis Khan’s father, as Genghis had brothers who rode with him as generals and spread their genetic legacy, as it were). That means there’s 16 million living men with direct copies of his Y chromosome (plus some mutations along the way). If we consider descent by any line, including both mothers and fathers, then something like half the planet, basically anyone with an ancestor in most of Asia, is descended from him in some small way.
